Published: June 3, 2024

Mycelium-based green composites (MBCs) represent an eco-friendly material innovation with vast potential across diverse applications. This paper provides a thorough review of the factors influencing production and properties MBCs, particular focus on interdisciplinary collaboration long-term sustainability goals. It delves into critical aspects such as fungal species selection, substrate type preparation, optimal conditions, dehydrating methods, post-processing techniques, mold design, sterilization processes, cost comparison, key recommendations, other necessary factors. Regarding highlights significance considering like mycelium species, decay type, hyphal network systems, growth rate, bonding in ensuring safety suitability MBCs fabrication. Substrate selection is discussed, emphasizing importance chemical characteristics cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin content, pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, C: N ratio determining MBC properties. preparation techniques are thoroughly examined, along their impacts quality performance. Moreover, discusses designing molds implementing effective processes to ensure clean environments for growth. also evaluates costs associated compared traditional materials, highlighting savings economic advantages. Additionally, recommendations precautions improving properties, including addressing strain degeneration, encouraging research collaboration, establishing biosecurity protocols, regulatory compliance, optimizing storage waste management practices, conducting life cycle assessments, suggesting parameters desirable Overall, this offers valuable insights complex interplay guidance achieve sustainable, high-quality

Microbial decay of wooden structures: actors, activities and means of protection

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 109(1)

Published: March 5, 2025

Wood decay fungi and bacteria play a crucial role in natural ecosystems, contributing to the decomposition of lignocellulosic materials nutrient cycling. However, their activity poses significant challenges timber durability, impacting industries reliant on wood as construction material. This review examines diversity microorganisms damaging used indoors outdoors. Additionally, traditional advanced methods for microbial identification are discussed, with focus DNA-based, culture-independent sequencing whose importance has increased massively recent years. It also provides an overview various options protection, starting from protection by design, chemical preservation modification methods. should illustrate how important it is combine ecological understanding organisms, precise innovative order achieve long-term thus resource-saving use wood. KEY POINTS: • Fungi Traditional DNA-based discussed. An provided.

Revisão sistemática acerca do uso de compósitos laminados de polímeros reforçados com fibras para o reforço de pilares de madeira

Ambiente Construído, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 25

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Resumo m geral, os pilares são elementos fundamentais para a estabilidade da estrutura, e o reforço desse elemento pode impactar significativamente na estrutura no ambiente em que está inserido. O uso de polímeros reforçados com fibras (PRF) consiste uma solução externo diversas pesquisas demonstrando eficiência seu uso, pois também ser adotado fase projeto. Apesar disso, método ainda não figura entre principais temas abordados pela literatura, sendo fundamental incentivo ao desenvolvimento mais sobre tema. Este estudo revisão sistemática literatura abordou do PRF como madeira. A baixa quantidade propriedades caracterizadas madeira indica dificuldade ensaiar material requer correlações estimar comportamento. Foi possível verificar tipos ensaios arranjos reforço, modo síntese conteúdo encontrado contribuir identificação padrões comportamento possibilitem especificação deste tipo reforço.
